The regime of Daniel Ortega and Rosario Murillo continues with its raid against Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs). This Wednesday, August 24, the Ministry of the Interior (Migob) in use of “its powers” canceled the legal personality of 100 more entities.
The ministerial agreement 01-2022-OSFL of the Migob, published in The Gazette No. 158, points out that the NGOs “have failed to comply with their obligations under the law; and that you have not reported for more than 5 to 27 years boards of directors, financial statements, according to fiscal periods, with detailed breakdowns of income and expenses, trial balance, details of donations, as well as identity information and origin of all its members and donors.
The resolution also indicates that “what refers to the liquidation of the goods and assets of the 100 aforementioned organizations, as appropriate, the provisions of Law 1115 will be applied.”
